Carrera Coupe #56

2.7L

9114400056

Clear

No reserve Auction starting at just $911. Extremely straight. Rust Free. COA. Way better than average original paint (minus the RSR fiberglass front bumper and tail, with light blend-in at fenders and rear window pillars done decades ago, and perfectly matched. Paint meter pictures included in link). Early Carrera produced with the early 72/73 RS rear flares (only available on early 74 examples). Correct dated Fuchs. and spare. California blue plate car. 2 motors ( the one in the car is a completely rebuilt and documented 2.7L S motor with very low miles, approx. 15K. The other is an unstamped 7R case originally replaced under factory warranty in 75 and later built to a hotrod 2.8L with 67 911S cams). Records & owner documentation. Original Owners Manuals. Complete original toolkit and jack. Original ducktail/sunroof delete car. Track updates: LSD, Bilsteins, heavier torsions bars & sway bars, Recaros, front camber bar, short shift, turbo tie rods, etc. Factory Black out trim with pop out windows. H1 headlights. Original Seats included. A/C car. Removed and included in boxes. Above average original interior with an excellent original dash an speaker grill. Car hasn't been used on a regular basis and has been primarily stored since around 1995. Still, the car runs and drives fantastic. With very low miles on the motor it runs extremely well. CIS working perfectly. Brakes feel great with no seizing issues form storage. Clutch and trans doing exactly what they should with no fussy shifts, grinding, or popping out of gear. Much more solid (stiff), and sound than the average early 70's 911 due to all the period performance updates, care, and maintenance. Extremely rare opportunity. One of a very few (if not the ONLY) special order #227 Green Carrera coupes produced. This iconic example encompasses everything you remember about the bygone era of air cooled Porsche ownership. A true time warp with nothing but soul emitting from it's wonderfully patina'd leather Raid wheel to it's original orange bar hood badge (another rare item that didn't make it onto the later midyears). When I acquired this car, my first instinct was to replace the front bumper and rear tail with an original decklid, but I just couldn't do it. This car took me back to my early PCA Zone 7 autocross weekends, where every event, guys would come back with the 'latest' go-fast accessories from Tweeks or Performance, etc, and the cars entire value was based in split seconds. This one was used as intended, then untouched and preserved from that brief snapshot in time. Not a garage queen...better. You just gotta love how close this original 74 car emulates the original 74 inaugural RSR IROC driven by AJ Foyt. DRD Motor Trade is a licensed, boned, CA dealer.

LOL Also, since listing this car I have been contacted by William Swope, the cars 2nd early owner, as well as one of his rival competitors back in the day who campaigned his 73 911E against Will in autocross events. Both remember this car fondly and very much as described. As recognizable as this bright green car is today, I can only assume it must have been somewhat of a legend all along. If I were to keep any of the 100 or so early Porsches I have sold since starting DRD, this would be it. You just rarely come across a car that stirs as much emotion as this one. The document below is a 'classifieds' application sent from Swope to the PCA editors. One of which, Wayne Ricciardi, bought the car himself and became the cars 3rd owner! Neat stuff, and proof this car was in this configuration from very early on.
